Problem of MSDE 2000 Release A Installation

Hi,
I'm new user for MSDE 2000 Release A.
Recently i have downloading MSDE2000A.exe and extract the MSDE 2000 Release
A installation files under folder name MSDERelA.
I have read thrg the document but still failed to install a new instance of
Desktop Engine for win XP .
Command Prompt:
C:\MSDERelA\Setup>SAPWD="xxxxx"
'SAPWD' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I think i'm missed interpreting the installation way.
Can anybody explain wht's the meaning of the below statement? Where can i
find
Windows Authentication Mode?
......To install a default instance configured to use Windows Authentication
Mode, execute: ..........
Appreciating any command suggestion for the above.
Thanks.
Regards
Chris
Try:
setup /sapwd xxxx
or put
[Options]
sapwd=xxxx
in setup.ini
SQL Server has multiple layers of security. The first one determines who can
talk to SQL Server (regardless of any attached databases). Windows
Authentication, the new default, lets anyone with a Windows login talk to
SQL Server. The old method, called SQL Server Authentication, requires a
user name and password instead. There exists Mixed Mode Authentication,
which will allow both, for instance in case you want to allow some user over
the network to access some parts of a database, you first have to allow him
to talk to SQL Server. Windows Authentication is the recommended mode,
unless you have a reason to allow login by name and password.
I'm rather new to all this, so some things I've told you might be wrong.

|||Thanks for the explaination. I have tried again with the command-
C:\MSDERelA\Setup>Setup/ SAPWD xxxxx
C:\MSDERelA\Setup>
System Prompt msg "pls go to control panel to install &configure your sys
component". Any idea what does it mean?
Below are the files in folder MSDERelA:
-- folder Msi, folder Setup (sql window installer pcks/patches),
autorun.txt, license.txt, ReadmeMSDE2000A.htm, setup.exe, setup.rll &
sqlresld.dll
Did i wrote a command to a wrong file?
Anybody can help to suggest a new command?
Thanks

internet search on the error message phrase, I got several hits. None of
them helped my situation, but maybe they will help yours.
In my case, I think it was something about Setup not finding network drives
or something like that. Does it work if you run setup with no parameters?
When I tried it, I used only
setup.exe /settings settings.ini
and kept all the switches in the ini file.
